Guess what? I'm on book tour this summer. Come see me discussing the history of psyops and the future of peace with these astonishing conversation partners! Be sure to say hi!

@MarkRDavid I will try to make it out there sometime this summer or fall!

@ohmu I mean, that's basically what this will be. I'm going to try to bring at least one cool snake story to tell Lindy.

It's spring for real! I grew this rose and this new book, which you can pre-order now...https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393881516

A happy author (me) holds up their new book Stories Are Weapons with the rose blooming on a bush behind them.

Sadly you can only pre-order the book, not the rose.

Experiencing a strange craving for a Ding Dong

@annaleen@wandering.shop avatar

@metagrrrl I suspect that I would have the same reaction ... what I probably want now is an elevated Ding Dong-esque treat that's made by a nerdy confectioner who sources their flour and chocolate locally and whips their own buttercream

@SRDas I mean, is this a typical day for Ding Dong cravings?

annaleen,
@annaleen@wandering.shop avatar

@PlinyTheOlder @metagrrrl ohhhh I will try one! I have seen them in their display case and never connected the dot that they are Ding Dong-esque!

@DrFerrous @SRDas it's a total Orphan Black situation

@ArthurCopeland4 I have no nostalgia for twinkies! only Ding Dongs and Pinwheel cookies (do they still make those?).

annaleen,
@annaleen@wandering.shop avatar

@ArthurCopeland4 the Nabisco ones!

@PlinyTheOlder @metagrrrl mmmm that sounds like a good combo

Really, really loved this episode of Our Opinions Are Correct -- and encourage all authors to consider joining AABB (I did, after listening).

Somehow I got sucked into "rug washing and restoration" YouTube which is a thing that attracts millions of viewers. Because apparently I really enjoy watching people wash dirt out of rugs.
